BANDS

Just Mel

“Just Mel is making music for our era. They are watching the madness and responding: “Eight Seconds on the Raging Crab” asks the listener to forge time for music, to gift ourselves space where we can make it the sole object of our attention and maybe return to the world with a little more clarity.”

Freshman Biology

Freshman Biology calls Top 5,000 Saddest Anime Deaths “a three-part reflection on the silver linings of overwhelming changes.” The music embodies this so clearly. Every song oozes the camaraderie you feel in a cramped basement show and it is not hard to imagine fans calling any further work they make “healing music.” I also wanted to note that these tracks are deceptively well-mixed. Underneath the lo-fi aesthetic, you can hear the care that went into the small details.
